Parking Management
Parking Management Program
NCTCOG’s Parking Management activities support local parking management plans and policies that create efficient and customer service-oriented parking that consumes less land while meeting flexible parking demand.
Why does North Texas need parking management?
- Improve transportation system performance through addressing parking’s impact on development​
- Allow for highest and best use of land in key locations which increases jobs and housing access
- Prepare for potential impact of automated vehicles which may significantly reduce future parking need
NCTCOG's Parking Events and Symposiums provide a forum for sharing local parking management best practices and strategies addressing future development. Additionally, NCTCOG has collected examples of local parking studies and other resources to assist local governments in best practices in parking management.
The NCTCOG Parking Management Toolbox can help North Texas achieve a more efficient transportation system and a more sustainable region. The toolbox was created as part of a TOD Parking Study for the DART Red and Blue Lines.
